Opinion of pornography

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Porn is a horrible curse and so are functioning libidos.

Good god, this thread is an abortion.

And given how exploitative the sex industry is (Do I really need to post evidence of this?), I can't possibly see it as 'freedom entertainment'. But whatever gentleman... continue your obviously metaphorical wanking.

Ok. Fair point. The sex industry is rather shafty. But nobody is forcing porn actors to perform. It's not sexual slavery, which is a seperate, much more serious problem.

Ever heard of capitalism?

As long as its consenting of age adults, 100% freedom entertainment.

...the physiology of a woman is different from that of a man.  Therefore, she cannot get aroused as quickly as a man can.  And when you're in a relationship, it helps to know that.  You cannot rush into having sex -you have to get there slowly and gradually.  Since this board is moderated by Inks, I am obviously not going into specifics, but foreplay is a big part of it.

Total stereotyping Frodo!  I've had many girlfriends who wanted it NOW, and even more that disliked all that 'foreplay' nonsense.  (I'd say about 30% have been into the oral prep, and about 50% have downright disliked it -- you'll often find that v.orgasmic women find the oral just kind of pointless or even annoying/ticklish).  And if you were a little older you'd know that most older men (not me yet thank goodness, but I can guess it could be coming) probably take longer to arouse than their partners.

Quite honestly it is a matter of taste, and your claim of some generalized physiological difference in 'arousal time' is just baseless, and the basis for a lot of pseudo-scientific stereotyping.

Haha, it is testimony to the prudishness of this forum that one cannot be certain you are joking here.

This thread explains why women don't post here.

Oh, do elaborate.  I like to think women are not so fragile as you seem to imply.   

Not wanting to read Memphis', Hockeydude's or Opebo's crap is hardly a sign of "fragility".

Most women are aware that they are different than men, and it doesn't hurt their feelings one iota. They're not fragile, just more balanced. They have very little patience for is the 18th thread about which way an obscure county will trend.

So do most men.

Horrible entertainment, and horrible thread.

...knowing that a substantial minority enter the sex industry because of a troubled past or because they have nowhere else to go has ruined pornography for me.

I can't watch a ten-minute video without spending far more time researching the background of everyone who appears onscreen. Even in the rare cases when I find enough information to remove the discomfort involved, the process tends to ruin the experience.

You need to cease feeling 'guilt' or whatever that is.  It is really completely unnecessary to feel that.

Horrible entertainment, and horrible thread.

So how do you get it off?  Looking at men's clothing catalogs?

[Sbane]

Obviously we do have a major animal component. That's after all, the reason why porn (and sex itself) exists. But I believe that we are more than mere animals, that our ability to think rationally and restrain our natural instincts through culture makes us impossible to rank in the same category.

Forming societies and being able to collaborate together to invent new things and further develop our society is our ecological niche. Our ability to do so is why there are 7 billion people on this earth. I am not sure what sort of natural instincts you think we are restraining.....

It was a drunk Christmas post, what do you think?

it is hardly unique, or even controversial, to state that sexual desire is equivalent to suffering.

it's nice to know that i'm not suffering then.

Do I really need to go into an explanation questioning why these exchanges may not always be 'free' even if they are consensual (this is an important distinction)? No choice is free really.

Some people here can't seem to stand their consumer choices being criticized.

the way i like putting it is that sometimes being the sex industry can be 'a choice' in the same way using heroin is 'a choice.'

Not really as that is a physical addiction. Dealing drugs in places where drugs are the only real industry would be a better example imo.

That said, I'd be surprised if most of the people voting freedom entertainment spent more than a penny on pornography. They probably just watch free videos on the internet.

I've spent about $25 in my life on pornography, (but I voted horrible entertainment)

I recall last time this came up you posited I stared at the wall.

it's not exactly a secret that drug abuse is rampant in the porn industry. not that people can't be in porn because of other dysfunctions in their lives or that your analogy doesn't apply to a lot of people.

If by "drug" you mean "mostly weed" and "rampant" you mean not much different from that of the population at large, then sure.

Really?

But really guys, pornographic industry is a microcosm of what is wrong with capitalism, there is really nothing else to it(I guess you could argue about ip rights since a lot of is torrented, but that still doesn't make it a special topic).
